Mary Robinette Kowal is an author I just really enjoy- she has a way of creating tension and urgency in her stories that keeps me flying through them. The Spare Man was by no means the most twisty or unique mystery I have read, but I loved the characters, setting, and the author's writing kept me engrossed the whole time.
